As featured in the July/August 2010 issue of VIVmag, athlete turned yogi Mark Blanchard has practiced for more than 30 years, teaching the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Rachel Griffiths and Jennifer Lopez. Blanchard connected with Lopez on a movie in which she had to perform a yoga sequence, and they have been enjoying downward dogs together ever since. Lopez says yoga changed her life by introducing her to the mind-body-spirit connection that has enhanced her singing, dancing and acting performances. As Blanchard is a purist, there is no music during his classes or private sessions. “Practice to the music of human breath,” he explains. “One of the things Jennifer loves the most about yoga is that it is a time to be peaceful, a chance to listen to the rhythm of life and calm the fluctuations of the mind.” Blanchard and Lopez love music at other times, though, so here are some post-yoga-class favorites.
